How to recognize a Northeast Shooter

[dwarven1]

No, it's not a riddle.

I saw a thread in gun shows where people were mentioning the Marlboro gun show, so it occurred to me that we need some way to recognize each other. Some kind of button or something...

Any suggestions?

You know that's actually a really cool idea. We need to get those Mods to get into the think-tank and figure out a nice little button or badge or something for us.

 

[dwarven1]

I actually got the idea from a mailing list I'm on... it's for Nortel equipment users, and there was a Nortel User's conference. We put @ signs in yellow on our convention badges.

Maybe crossed AR-15s on a custom button of some sort? We can have them made by Nancy at www.nancybuttons.com. In fact, Nancy has some anti-gun control buttons on her site if you want to browse.

maybe ball caps with a logo?

 

[Wildweasel]

Oh I know lets wear carhart, no how about camo, no plaid?
my wife allways has a hard time finding me at these things. she says it is putting on the uniform. Plaid shirt with Jeans and a ballcap. Like EVERYone else! So I don't have a good sugestion.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Oh god it's like looking at a sea of plaid and carhart. It's just redneck central. [twisted]

 

[SiameseRat]

Those gun buttons have some pretty funny slogans.

My favorite was "point and click means you're out of ammo"

We can all wear buttons that say "Who's on first" ----- sorry that post is like a bad disease. It's very catchy

Or better yet...."I don't know..."
[lol]

 

[dwarven1]

What about red camo underwear? [twisted] [twisted] [twisted]

My dog recognizes his friends by smelling their butt.

[help] sorry I'll try to bring it up a notch

........nah, I'm having way to much fun [twisted]

 

[Adam_MA]

If you decide on hats or shirts or something like that... I have a very good friend that owns an embroidery and screen printing shop...

I know we would get a good deal

[Nickle]

Caps sound like a good idea. But possibly instead of crossed AR's, how about something a little more universal to everyone? Not that I mind AR's. I own one, and happen to like it.

You got a catcher?

 

[dwarven1]

How bout a button or patch with a crossed AR and an M-1 with the words NORTHEAST SHOOTERS either superimposed or NORTHEAST above and SHOOTERS below?

Or something in a similar vein. I mean, I'm a pistol shooter, but our host is a rifleman, so I'm trying to suck up^H^H^H^H^H^H^H come up with a design that most folks will like.

Ross

Hey, Derek - we need tags for strike outs. ^H may not be understood by everyone...

 

[MrsWildweasel]

You realise it is something that will have to stand out. Like Glenn said to me this morning,he's looking at guns,not people.

Put the patch on a red camo hat. Or... can we find hats in Hi-Viz yellow camo? THAT'D stand out! [twisted]

I am easy to spot at Harvard Sportsmens Club.

I always wear by old army bdu's,and usually I am wearing a rucksack with your standard sleeping bag,mess kit mop level 3 gear.I also never go to the range without my Camelback.I wear kneepads,elbowpads and sometimes my Kevlar helmet.

Either that or I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt and asking a lot of questions to whoever I see with an AR.

 

[Nickle]

How about a nice Black Hat, logoed like Ross suggests, except maybe a 1911A1 and an AR, M1 or M14. That should make almost everybody happy, and still look nice.

Do you also have a hatchet hanging off your deuce gear?

 

[MrsWildweasel]

I want a picture of all you guys wearing one.... [twisted] [lol] Oh,you'd stand out then.

I hope you're not in MOPP 3. You'd be REAL easy to spot if you were. I'm real easy to spot, just look for a DeadHorse M/C shirt.

I was going to suggest that, but I can't figure out how to show a crossed AR and 1911 - size differential, and all that.

Maybe I'll ask a friend who's a pretty good artist to try and come up with something.

Ross

 

[Nickle]

Or a crossed 1911A1 and Glock, or other handgun.

Size differential would be OK to me.

 

[C-pher]

Yea, or we can all meet up at the door at a set time and then go from there.

But I like the hat thing...but like you said. It would have to be something that we would see. I'm not really looking up at a gun show.

 

[Nickle]

I'm usually looking up at gun shows, but then, I'm usually on the back side of the table.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Glenn's other suggestion was rent a table and all meet there. [lol] Might work then.

 

[Nickle]

Works fine for gun shows, but how about other times?

You never know when or where 2 of us will cross paths.
